How many cable systems run FETV?

I recently discovered this channel on my Spectrum lineup, way up at Channel 417. (Family Entertainment TV) A good alternative to MeTV, with some classic sitcoms that are not seen on Me. Like Maude, Barney Miller, One Day At A Time, Green Acres, Father Knows Best, Hazel, Bewitched. Nice lineup. And am I alone, was Green Acres not the funniest program on in the late 60's? Well, Laugh-in was probably up there as well. I think both were considered "new edge" comedy at the time.

They can still air the shows that play on METV on FETV correct?

Green Acres was hilarious, the best of CBS's rural comedies. It had an absurdity to it that was missing in Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.

Green Acres featured humor that was indeed different. I kind of equate it to what Steve Martin did in his early career just a couple years later. Avant-garde humor for the era.
 
I see I have FETV on Channel 477 on Spectrum Cable in New Jersey. It's between the religious channels in the low 400s and the shopping channels in the upper 400s.

I see it has Perry Mason and Bat Masterson, even though both are also on MeTV. Those are both good shows, so I'll give FETV a try when they run. I wonder if they have clever promos and I.D.s like MeTV and Antenna?
